While waiting, use your time constructively with the time-honoured debugging technique of "make the simplest example that shows the problem". I'd thought my post was mostly doing that already - not runnable, but not vague.
Do you mean, given it's contents, that the error I get is an unusual one? If so, then I'd have to hack an example. If not, then I'm hoping for some quick expert advice for 'housing' directory trees full of data under the package or Distribution-root directories.
I have spent too many hours trying to get distutils to 'see' my tree and I have actually run out of dev-time for my project now.
wxPython has some examples of specifying in-package data files that you can probably build upon. See where DATA_FILES is built up, the wx_smart_install_data command class, and the find_data_files function. http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/ Look at both setup.py and config.py. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters?
